Zhang Cheng, who is a traverser, naturally knows the importance of the Northeast, and after "918", in order to use the resources of the Northeast, Japan deliberately supported the puppet regime and established the puppet state of Manchukuo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Due to the abundant and superior resources in Northeast China, coupled with the solid foundation of Zhang Zuolin's father and son's painstaking management for two generations, the Japanese have enjoyed the success and immediately have the largest industrial base in Asia.

Northeast China is very rich in mineral resources, according to the 1936 puppet Manchukuo State Council's resource survey report, coal reserves of about 3 billion tons, iron reserves of about 4 billion tons. Other minerals are gold, magnesite, bauxite, oil shale, diamond, etc.

In addition, under the hard work of Zhang Zuolin and his son, the level of industrialization in Northeast China at the end of the 20s has surpassed that of the Yangtze River Valley, which has always been the most developed in China, and the new policy of Zhang and his son made the national industry and commerce in Northeast China even become a threat to the economy of Japan's Manchurian Railway.

By the end of the 20s, a heavy industry system centered on iron and steel and coal and a light industry system centered on grain processing, textiles, and food industries had already been formed in Northeast China. On the eve of the change of banners in Northeast China, Northeast China already had the most powerful navy and air force in China, and all of them were handed over to the Nanjing government after the change of banners.

In terms of industry alone, the industrial scale of Northeast China is now comparable to that of Japan, and the Shenyang-Dalian line from Shenyang to Dalian is lined with factory chimneys on both sides, and the city is connected into a world-famous "Long Industrial Zone", and Shenyang Tiexi District is known as the "Oriental Ruhr".

In 1931, the share of total industrial output in the total output value of industry and agriculture increased from 26.9% to 59.3%, while it did not reach 57.5% until 2003.

By 1943, Northeast China accounted for one-ninth of China's land and one-tenth of its population, producing 49.4% of China's coal, 87.7% of pig iron, 93% of steel, 93.3% of electricity, 69% of sulfuric acid, 60% of soda ash, 66% of cement, and 95% of machinery. In 1945, China's total industrial output in Northeast China accounted for 85%.

On the opposite side of agriculture, according to the resource survey report of the State Council of the puppet Manchukuo in 1936, the arable land area in Northeast China was 40 million hectares, with an annual output of 2.5 million tons of soybeans, 2 million tons of wheat, 700,000 tons of rice, 1 million tons of millet, 8 million tons of sorghum, 5 million tons of corn, 600,000 tons of miscellaneous grains and beans, 300,000 tons of cotton, and 160,000 tons of tobacco. The stock includes 4 million horses, 3 million cattle, 30 million sheep and 40 million pigs.

However, the economic development of the puppet Manchukuo was a predatory wartime deformed economy, and the process condensed the blood and tears of millions of people in Northeast China. As a result, it only provided material support for Japan's aggression on a larger scale, and the Chinese did not benefit from it, but the more the puppet Manchukuo economy developed, the more serious the disaster for China became.

Historically, when Japan was defeated in 1945, the Soviet Union dismantled and transported most of the factories, mines, power stations and other materials in Northeast China back from September 1945 to May 1946.

It took 40 days to dismantle and transport the magnificent Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and 60 trucks were shipped. Before November 15, 1945, 200 trucks were going to the Soviet Union every day from Shenyang alone, and by the beginning of 1946, more than 90% of the factories in Shenyang were empty shells, and even the doors and windows were removed. A total of 75 per cent of the locomotives and 93 per cent of the wagons of the Northeast Railway were hijacked.

But even so, the Northeast, which was almost plundered by the Soviets, still became the well-deserved eldest son of the Republic after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was the most important industrial base in China for decades.

It can be said that it was only by virtue of the industrial base in Northeast China that Japan was able to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China and the Pacific War one after another, and without the support of the Northeast Industrial Base, Japan would have collapsed long ago.

In order to strive for greater interests after World War II, Zhang Cheng planned that the Eighth Route Army would defeat Japan independently without Misu's intervention, and the only way to achieve this extremely difficult goal was to take the Northeast Asia's largest industrial base, and use it as a strategic support point to counterattack Korea and Japan itself.

Thinking of the importance of the Northeast, Zhang Cheng was eager to lead the army into the Northeast now, but unfortunately World War II had not yet broken out, the Japanese army's southward strategy had not yet taken shape, and the Japanese base camp was constantly expanding the Kwantung Army in order to support the full-scale war of aggression against China.

However, the army can not enter the Northeast does not mean that Zhangcheng does nothing, this is the most difficult moment for the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, in an extremely difficult environment, many anti-United Nations officers have become traitors due to their weak beliefs, under the guidance of the traitors, the losses of the Anti-Japanese Federation are very heavy, and now they can only hide in the dense forests of the Great Xing'an Mountains to survive. In particular, General Yang Jinyu, one of the main founders and leaders of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, was brutally killed because of the betrayal of the traitor Cheng Bin.

However, although Cheng Bin was not firm in his faith and became a traitor, he had a pitiful place, when the army was in a desperate situation, the Japanese army captured his mother and brother, and his brother came up twice to persuade him to surrender, and directly asked him Do you want to resist Japan or mother? Cheng Bin happily replied that he wanted his mother. In this way, General Yang Jinyu's most powerful assistant defected, and instead became an enemy who tried every possible way to put him to death.

Under the coercion of the devils, the original famous and outstanding anti-Japanese heroes became traitors and lackeys spurned by everyone, while General Yang Jinyu, the pillar of the Anti-Japanese Federation and the national hero, was unrewarded and slept in the dense forests of the northeast, which is deplorable.

In order to prevent these tragedies from happening again, Zhang Cheng decided to send a small force into the northeast to get in touch with the Anti-Japanese Federation, help the Anti-Japanese Federation strengthen ideological and educational work, strengthen faith, and bring the families of the main cadres of the Anti-Japanese Federation to the Guannai safely, so that they can resist Japan with peace of mind.

But who should be sent?

Zhang Cheng's initial idea was to send a conventional combat unit into the northeast to assist the anti-Japanese alliance, but considering that it was inconvenient for the conventional troops to transport materials and the goal was too obvious, he finally decided to have Chen Jinbiao, the political commissar of the special operations brigade, serve as the detachment leader of the northeast anti-Japanese advance detachment, and he would explore the way for the instructor army.
